| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The licensee identified a Severity Level (SL) IV NCV of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information, on June 29, 2010, after it was discovered that six operator licenses did not have medical restrictions for use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices. This issue was reviewed by the inspectors on September 17, 2010, and exited as an URI 05000331/2010004-05, pending further review by NRC and NRC doctors. Corrective actions included re-submittal of NRC Form 396 for the effected operators, documenting the issue in the corrective action program as CR 00580281, and performing an ACE. The licensee also developed a checklist of questions for licensed operators to answer semi-annually regarding the operators use of prescribed medication and reporting of medical conditions. On October 12, 2010, the NRC amended six reactor operator licenses to include the license condition, must use therapeutic devices as prescribed to maintain medical qualifications. The failure to include medical condition restrictions within six operator licenses was a performance deficiency. Because the performance deficiency is considered to potentially impede or impact the ability of the NRC to perform its regulatory oversight function, the performance deficiency was dispositioned using the traditional enforcement process. Per NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 6.4, failing to include medical condition restrictions within operator licenses, which did not adversely affect their ability to safely operate the facility was categorized as an example of a SL IV violation. Additionally, the control room operators performance was monitored and they continued to be evaluated as satisfactory during periodic testing and requalification testing. Because the violation was entered into the licensees CAP, compliance was restored in a reasonable period of time, and was not repetitive or willful; this violation is being treated as a non-cited SL IV violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The performance deficiency was not considered a finding using IMC 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and did not impact the Reactor Oversight Program Cornerstones of Safety. |
